Run for the hills!

 

As above. All the hallmarks of a scam. The easiest way is to chat with a potential buyer on email, then the phone. If they want the car they cam come to you and pay in cash, over the counter at your bank. Genuine people will be happy to do this. I think in this day and age it's to easy to forget electronic transfers etc are not as safe as you first think. Cheques can also be rejected after appearing to clear. Cash is king.

 

Or have some fun !

Tell the guy it's been in an accident and you've fitted a diesel engine, it comes with a free dog in the boot, there are only 2 wheels left on it as you couldn't afford the tyres, it has no driver side door for weight saving, and you'll only take French Francs as payment...

The possibilities are endless !

 

Cheers guys i thought as much just thought i would double check.

 

lol why would you buy a car you havent even seen
scam. email them back a fake address etc..... mess them about a bit

 

The biggest scam going, why even ask

 

scam, dont give ya address out, they could be major car crime group for all you know, they might just help themselves to it.

 

haha, surely you never thought that they were potential buyers???????

Classic, that did make me laugh, out loud and all

 

 

mate i have experience in this tell him to do one i had this happen to me it WILL be a scammer saying something like hell send you the money blah blah blah and hell get a company to pick the car up!! this guy sent me three cheques thatr equalled to £7500 when i was looking for £3000 for it and that i had to put them in then bank then send the rest of the money via weston union.... not only will you be done over but your get arrested for money laundering!!! FACT ill send you the emails that i was sent if you would like to see buddy

 

I get emails like that all the time when i advertised on gumtree..usually had a laugh with them by changing the car's details and they wouldnt notice. Scammer all over it!! block the address incase of hacking or spyware and all at funky ****.!!

 

I would personally run as well.
The import garage where I get my cars from has also had this happen where he was sent much more money than the cost of the car.
There was one though that seemed a scam but came out all right though.
A couple of months ago when I picked up my scooby from there,there was an Evo 9 he had up for £15000.The day I was there he said to checkout this email he received about the Evo.It was along the lines of,

I would like to purchase the evo 9 you have for sale.I work at sea and have an agent that will arrange collection and the car would be going to new Zealand to be prepared and used for rallying.I would like to pay by paypal.

He played along to see what happened as his security at the garage is insane so he wasn't worried.
The guy paid as he said he would the correct amount.
I popped in there a few weeks later and he said it had gone to new Zealand and recently the bloke that bought it sent him some pictures of the car in action and was well chuffed with the car.

I'm glad there wasn't a bet on because I'd have put a tenner down on it being a scam.

Paypal offer very little protection (they've been on Watchdog countless times where people have sold cars and Paypal refuse to help out) so yes I would be dubious. If they were interested they would come in person to view the car, hand over a cheque, wait for it to clear in your bank and then drive it away, or do a same day bank transfer down at your bank, with you with them, getting confirmation by the clerk that all is complete. Private sales for big sums are risky. Hence only cheque (cleared cheques) or same day bank transfer are methods I'd accept. Unless you see the money in your bank account never hand over the keys or any other information.

 

scam & a half!

In 6 months time though the fuzz will visit to say it was paid with stolen funds & they need to take it back ...
